Default Logging in Arnhem Land.

It seems funny to me that [most Australians] can't even enter there but Rio Tinto can bulldoze 850 hectacres [2100 acres] of good timber away just because they have a Bauxite mine lease.

I know it happens everywhere, but Arnhem Land?

Anyway it's not gonna happen thanks to Forestry Tasmania.

Yes, they're going to do something with the otherwise wasted wood.

Galarrwuy Yunupingu says if the wood wasn't cut down it would've been bulldozed to make way for the mine.

Under the deal the Gumatj Association will pay Forestry Tasmania to teach Aboriginal workers how to cut down trees and run sawmills. The money will come from royalties paid to the Gumatj Association by the bauxite mine and the Federal Government's job creation fund.
